Lion dynamics continue to enthral us, and as we bid farewell to the Scar-nosed Majingilane male and reflect on the incredible reign that this coalition had, we can’t help but wonder what is in store for the Birmingham Males and what their future holds compared to the dominance that came before them.

A few days back also saw the return of the three Tsalala Males who were seen in the company of some of the Mhangeni sub-adults AND a Birmingham male, who were all feeding on a impala that had been stolen from a male cheetah. When questioned as to what had happened during that sighting, Don Heyneke’s only remark was, “I have no idea what just went down!”

The mystery of Lion's lives continue to fascinate us!
How much time we spend read and learn about them.. they continue to enthrall us!!

I think it all comes down to the current lack of big game, both the Mhangeni sub-adults and the Tsalala Males have been clearly struggling to find food it's always surprising how the lack of food and water changes animal behavior and produces some interesting interactions that wouldn't be possible otherwhise.

It's specially weird because it was an impala so many lions fighting or interacting over an impala just bizarre. Reply
